The sub turning actually seems fine to me.

If you look at a turn from the overhead view with the TA out, you can see clearly that the submarine is "spinning out", meaning that the submarine is changing the heading of it's nose faster than the actual direction that the sub is heading changes.

So, the physics themselves seem fine to me, if a sub can turn that fast based on rudder deflection in terms of the heading of its nose, then it is highly doubtful that it could transfer all it's momentum into a new heading that quickly.

The issue is not with the core physics, but whether the submarine rudders are that efficient in turning the nose of the submarine. And the reason it is more noticable in the Akula and SW is because they are heavier and have more inertia than the 688i.
Except that there is thrust being applied throughout the manuever...and a lot of it.
